# Invoicing Configuration

An invoice is a generated representation of a particular billing state. It is used for Merchant Accepted Payment (MAP) method. It notifies customers of their closing balance for the current billing cycle. Invoices are part of Subscribe customer notifications, which can automatically be issued at predefined moments in the billing cycle, using customized templates. For more details, see [Invoices in Subscribe Portal Guide](https://docs.vindicia.com/bundle/Subscribe_Portal2_User_Guide/page/topics/invoiceAbout.html).
